[CULT KING]- Young Vito - **FULL PROTO PICS**

[Machew1031]

Here's my Vito. Finally got around to taking some pics lol. Overall I'm happy with it. May change the body out and I also did as Ray said and took out some of the material inside the hat. But other than that great piece!

Re-colored the hat, all that white mixed in really bothered me.
Seen Ray and Chilipep do it, looked great, it really upgraded the look.
Here's the before and after photo.

Looks great!! I agree this is the best looking DeNiro. What did you do when you re-colored the hat?

 

[Mnl_actionfigures]

I agree it's the best DeNiro sculpt we have gotten, but I can't help but wonder if giving him a more "lively" paint job would increase the likeness and do it even more Justice, sadly I'm no painter. Personal preference, but I'm not a huge fan of the greyish skin-color.

I was going to use a black sharpie, but I hate the smell, I ended up using a black ink pen. Gave it 15 min to dry. Doesn't smell or smear at all.

Same problem with the Young Capo. They really need to fix it. They have exquisite tailoring, the sculpts are superb, even the actual paint job is good, but the skin tone is just poor.

At the price point of these, it's not something that should be a concern, and there's no reason for it.

It's because they used flesh resin cast colour as basic of skin tone.

Ah, you mean the yellowish tint resin, no? Regardless, they need to sort it out. They didn't have this problem with their "trio", which even if T is a tad dark, still look great! Especially Bl (which I absolutely adore). Still haven't seen a repaint of that one that doesn't do more than tinker around the edges, it's that good.

Sure, what they do photographs well, I'll admit that, even I find it hard to take a bad photo of their product, but a photo will sell me one figure. Looking amazing on my shelf will sell me twenty.

No one get me wrong here, I'm not blanket bagging their product/s, which is/are generally pretty amazingly fantastic, it's just the flesh tone. They need to lift that to raise it to the level of everything else. Which is 10/10. Anyways, I know a lot of people think bagging customisers is poor, so don't take it as a bagging, just take it as a hope and desire for things to get even better.

You should send Mr. X a message on Facebook and share your feelings about this issue. He is very willing to listen to legitimate concerns.

I would but I'm not on Facebook. I do know he has contacts here, and am more than happy for any of those folk to let him know.

Black ink pen. Never thought of that! Looks awesome anyway. I do wonder why they would use the greyish skin color tone on their head sculpts. Hope that won't be the case with all of the head sculpts. I hate that when you order a head sculpt from them and you still have to pay extra more money to have it repainted if you, yourself, can't paint it. It's crazy.

It looks good when I filter a photograph, but I wish he looked that good to the naked eye.
